Or why you should care about wideband. Really. Voice communications is entering into its third wave of evolution. A third wave move to HD Communications represents an opportunity for carriers to redefine themselves and reassert their superiority relative to the “me too” VoIP service providers that have driven cost down, but at the price [...] What can the Obama Administration do for HD Communications? A look back at what Vice President Al Gore did before he won his Nobel Prize provides some clues. Back in 1994, Al was the point many for “Reinventing Government” As a part of his mission, he put a “date certain” marker down for all [...] Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman nominee Julius Genachowski got the typical Capital Hill posturing lectures today at his confirmation hearing, but appears to be on track to be confirmed with Senate Commerce Committee leadership homing for a confirmation vote before July 4.

Targeted to large enterprise customers, it isn’t likely to make a lot of waves at Amazon. CaaS is being sharply aimed at business and government customers who want on-demand and surge computing resources.

On the consumer side of the VoIP world, European carriers are leading the way with HD voice deployment.
